  3. Returns conveyor

Public environment · Logistics

The returns keep coming.

A moving line. Three returns. An agent that has to figure it out.

Panda + Robotiq

Robot embodiment

Powered infeed

80 physical rollers

3 mm clearance

Precision scan nest

RGB + optical scan

Agent observations

the task

More than pick and place.

Stop too early and the parcel is out of reach. Place it on a rail and the scan placement fails. A damaged code needs a different destination.

  1. 01 Receive a moving return

    Let each parcel reach the pickup window. Stop and restart the powered line when needed.

  2. 02 Seat it. Read it. Check it.

    Align the parcel in the close-fitting nest. Release, capture the scanner image, and correct the placement if necessary.

  3. 03 Choose the right destination

    Repair, return to maker, or manual review for an unreadable label. Leave every parcel released and stable.

Watch the actual attempt.

The complete task at 4× simulation speed, with synchronized camera views. Physics pauses while the model thinks. Cycles rendering of recorded motion. Corrections and rescans are retained.

measured results

Check the outcome.

The saved physics states, scan images and sequence of actions were checked independently. Same instruction and geometry, two conveyor speeds.

Passing requires arrival on the conveyor, pickup inside the window, a valid seated scan and stable release in the correct tray. The empty line must stop. These are two recorded trials after development, not a reliability benchmark.
